Production Blog: THE DECISION

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. The last time you heard from me we were trying to find a camera to use for our filming. Long story short, we ended up finding a camera. Now in this blog I want to tell you about a decision. Specifically a decision Mya and I made for our final task. The decision Mya and I made was to film earlier than we originally intended. We first intended to film the weekend of April 1st. But, that day would leave us with only 2 weeks to turn in our final task. So, we decided to move the date up for filming to get ahead of this problem. Moving up the filming date would allow us to be more meticulous with our decisions. Specifically, we would have more time to edit our film and follow the conventions of our genre. We would also have more time to rewatch our final task and maybe we will see stuff we didn't see before. For example, if a clip looked weird we would have more time to re-film. It would give us time to schedule a date with everyone and get a plan. Also, we could be see if we would need to take certain things out or add effects. Not only this, but others could review. Mya and I already knew that we would want others to review our film. So, if we filmed earlier we could get more and more people to review them. The people can give us critiques and constructive criticism which we want. Thank you for reading about Mya and I's decision, be back for more!

  Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai.  Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself. He would state his name and then, similar to a lawyer examining a witness, will ask Kai to introduce herself. After Kai says her name the camera will pan back to Mya who will go looking for the other members.  Scene Three- The third scene will jump cut to Joey asleep on a patio bench. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera.  Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different bench. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...

Research Blog

 Research: Music Videos Conventions and Codes    My group is doing a pop song for our music video. In most pop genre music videos, the audience usually watches people sing the lyrics to the song within the video. A lot of things are subject to the meaning or theme of the song and how the artist wants to get that across within the music video They usually wear costumes that go with the theme of the music video , so for example if the theme of the video involves them performing for a crowd they usually wear nice clothing like dresses, suits, etc. If the theme is midcentury, they usually wear old style clothing like knight armor, long skirts, etc. If the theme is casual, they wear casual clothing like t shirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers. Props are also usually subject to the theme of the video. If they are performing in the music videos they might have microphones, a microphone stand, and a stage. If it's more midcentury them some props used could be a horse.  The app...

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...
